This is a trade sized paperback book with slick cardstock covers and a stapled spine. The area around the staples on the book covers has started to pull.

"Chiang was an influential member of the Kuomintang (KMT) , the Chinese Nationalist Party, as well as a close ally of Sun Yat-sen. Chiang became the Commandant of the Kuomintang's Whampoa Military Academy and took Sun's place as leader of the KMT following the Canton Coup in early 1926. Having neutralized the party's left wing, Chiang then led Sun's long-postponed Northern Expedition, conquering or reaching accommodations with China's many warlords. " (from Wikipedia)
